Fall Out Boy

Alex Toor went deep into finding out the story behind the dog on the album cover of Fall Out Boy’s So Much (for) Stardust:

With this case officially closed, I’m beyond stoked to introduce Blitz the Doberman to other fans of Fall Out Boy. At the time of publication, Blitz has 12.8k followers on his public Instagram account, which lead me to question how this match hadn’t already been made. Blitz’s bio reveals he was born on February 27th, 2019 and lives in Las Vegas with his human, one Jen Patterson.

Review: Arcane Ghosts – Distant Youth

Adam Grundy

I’d like to introduce everyone to a great Alternative rock band called Arcane Ghosts. On their latest EP, called Distant Youth, they capture the spirit of the glory days of the pop-punk genre, all paired with breakneck hooks, impeccable band chemistry, and pop sensibilities to make sure these five songs stick in your head for days on end. The band is comprised of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Jason Diaz, Steven Wolwyn on bass and backing vocals, and drummer Eric Mitz. With a sound that fits somewhere between Midtown, The Starting Line, and The Early November, Arcane Ghosts could very well be the next exciting band to take this scene by storm.

Andrew McMahon Details New Album

Andrew McMahon did a track-by-track breakdown for his new album:

“Submarine” was written for the second Wilderness album, Zombies on Broadway. At the time, I was living in New York making the album and I completely spun out. I wasn’t sleeping, working insane hours, and going out until the sun came up most days. It started as a lot of fun, but by the end, I’d really lost myself.

Quit Yourself – “Strung Out and Grinding Your Teeth” (Song Premiere)

Today I’d like to introduce everyone to a great up and coming emo band called Quit Yourself. This Buffalo, New York-based band is sharing their new single called “Strung Out & Grinding Your Teeth.” The song comes from their new EP It Gets Worse Before It Gets Worse. Recorded and mixed by Chris Ploss and mastered by Paul Leavitt, the emotional and heartfelt song speaks to the struggles of the human experience. The music is both raw and authentic, with lyrics that are both thought-provoking and deeply moving. The EP is dynamic and reminiscent of early 2000’s emo, blended with bits of pop-punk and indie/post-hardcore.

The Scary Jokes – “Uzumaki” (Song Premiere)

The Scary Jokes
Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single from synth-pop artist The Scary Jokes called “Uzumaki.” The song is about vivid dreams of past failed relationships, wanting everything to be okay, as well as the painful realization of reality when you wake up from dreaming. With a sound truly to their own, The Scary Jokes make a solid impression on the “bedroom pop” genre. The Scary Jokes shared:

”Uzumaki” was inspired by having recurring dreams about people you’ve had a falling out with. You just want things to be okay like they are in the dream but you wake up and you’re still not friends with that person. When I have dreams like that, all the context for why we’re not friends anymore is inaccessible in that moment. But as soon as you wake up and have some clarity, everything comes rushing to the forefront of your brain. I often get frustrated by the senselessness of making an enemy. I don’t want to have enemies; I want to be friends with everyone. “Uzumaki” is about those feelings being at odds with each other.

The song comes from their forthcoming LP, Retinal Bloom, out everywhere music is sold on May 26th.
